I'm in a stage in my life where I'm a huge cheerleader for the single life. I have so many things to say that I'm almost scared to begin, for fear that I'll never stop and I'll use my megaphone for bad instead of good and everyone will run away and never return.

Yet I get it. Too often, singleness can be one of the scariest things to face. For many, there may be nothing worse than looking at a life stretched in front of you, made longer and lonelier through the lens of walking it alone. There are the birthdays and holidays and seasons and milestones to be had, and you could pass by them all unaccompanied and unknown.
